The multi-parameter Hausdorff operators on H¹ and L^p

In the present paper, we characterize the nonnegative functions $\varphi$ for which the multi-parameter Hausdorff operator $\mathcal H_\varphi$ generated by $\varphi$ is bounded on the multi-parameter Hardy space $H^1(\mathbb R\times\cdots\times\mathbb R)$ or $L^p(\mathbb R^n)$, $p\in [1,\infty]$. The corresponding operator norms are also obtained. Our results improve some recent results in \cite{FZ, LM2, LM3, We} and give an answer to an open question posted by Liflyand \cite{Li}.
